Noticed your edits. 5 yeah, that could be a good option to try with notification to admins of a change. Would be less complex.

Thanks for the response.

1. Ideally if it could be included by default. That way we have a standard country name etc so when we put it into our side we can easily translate it to flag images etc for tracker and so on.

2. No special format, just the first row of the CSV with the name of the field would be perfect. This just helps us import them into our spreadsheets and systems etc especially when different series have different columns/orders.

3. Agree. One I think we can see how it goes and report back following a season of using it

4. I think that would be in its simplest form yeah. Happy to see how it goes.

5. Maybe if a driver changes their entry (which is already approved), it can go to something like 'Approved - Changed' and then the admin can almost double approve. Agree getting complex though. Happy to see how we go as is for a first season and report back on that one too.

6. Yeah that works, that is how we do it now so saves complexity

7. Its not so much the notification of it but it saves admins having to chase people to change their number because they chose one which was already chosen. Nice to have, monitor manually for now as previous.

8. Okay

I said not all of them are holding us back. Probably worded incorrectly, apologise. These are suggestions that I noticed going through it and from experience what we receive via forum as you have asked for features which may help.

Notifications of changes to entries is one thing which may be more of an important thing for us but only time will tell. As I say happy to give it a go for a season and feed back.

Other features as mentioned are more nice to haves. I unfortunately have been extremely busy with real life things lately and last night was my only opportunity to look through it following a prompt from Pete and Maikl. I received a message asking if we can use the entry system this morning after I send my message here.

I've had a play with the new updates to leagues and there are a few features I'd like to see.

1. CSV agree Nationality would be nice there.
2. CSV also headers for columns would be a nice to have.
3. Ability for admins to edit a entry manually.
4. & 5. Notification to admins of any changes a drivers makes to their entry after it has been approved. Plus the ability to approve a change would be awesome!
6. Ability to temporarily close signups a certain time before a round and x time after a round completion. This may need to be a time stamp after event maybe?
7. Ability for car number to be tracked and not used more than once
8. Ability to reject a signup with a reason, giving the driver a chance to correct the details rather than going through the whole signup again.

CSV and skin pack updates are great!

I think they (not all of them) would be the only features holding us back from using it currently. Thanks!

Thanks Scawen
